Benning: Canucks unlikely to extend RFA offer sheets

The Vancouver Province offers up another look at the Ryan Kesler situation, with fresh quotes from Canucks GM Jim Benning on Monday. Nothing to be gleaned from those comments.

Of particular interest though, was this...

On whether he would tender a July 1 offer sheet to Columbus restricted free agent centre Ryan Johansen, a Port Moody product coming off a breakout 33-goal season:

“What ends up happening with that is, teams usually end up matching the offer sheet and you end up driving up the prices on the players," Benning said. "We’ll look at everything, but we probably won’t be doing offer sheets.”
